Trump lawyer John Lauro urged Chutkan not to allow prosecutors to publicly air their evidence, arguing it would be unfair to do so at a "sensitive time" ahead of the election.
His argument prompted a rebuke from Chutkan.
"It strikes me that what you’re trying to do is affect presentation of evidence in this case so as not to impinge on an election," Chutkan told Lauro, adding that she is "not concerned with the electoral schedule."
